Decision details

Agreement from Cabinet to go out to consultation on a refreshed Regulation 123 list and the consolidated Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) governance policies.

Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED to approve the set of Community Infrastructure Levy Supporting Policies Documents including Regulation 123 List for a targeted consultation.

The purpose of this report is to seek the approval for the purpose of public consultation on the revised Community Infrastructure Levy Supporting Policies Document, the draft revised Regulation 123 List, and the revised Governance Proposals.

Do not update the documents - this was rejected as the documents are in need of a refresh and, in particular, the R123 List needs updating for clarity and to ensure the successful securing of necessary infrastructure from new development. 

Do a full refresh of the CIL Charging Schedule - this was rejected because the Charging Schedule can only be changed following extensive reconsultation, updated evidence gathering and independent examination, a process which typically would take 2-3 years to undertake and be a significant resource undertaking. Officers best estimate is that, even if such an extensive review of the Charging Schedule is undertaken, the net effect is not likely to be significant i.e. it is unlikely that the rates set out on the Charging Schedule would materially alter, particularly as the rates get updated each year in line with inflation.
